American laws are their own matter locally and have nothing to
do with India, the country’s defense chief said, refusing to bow to a US
sanctions threat over its planned purchase of Russian S-400 air-defense
systems.

New Delhi has relayed to
Washington that the threat of unilateral US sanctions will not have an
impact on its decision on the possible purchase of S-400 Triumf air
defense missile systems from Russia.

“We have told the US Congress delegation that this is US law and not a UN law,” India's defense minister Nirmala Sitharaman noted, apparently referring to a US federal bill that was implemented in 2017.

Refusing to bow to the threat of potential sanctions,
Sitharaman said that the 39,000 crore ($5.7bn) deal to purchase five
S-400 units has nearly been finalized. “Our defense relation with
Russia has endured several decades and we have conveyed this about it to
a US Congressional delegation which visited India recently,” Sitharaman told a group of reporters at her office in South Block.

The
deal is expected to be finalized by the fall, to be sealed during a
summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Vladimir Putin
in India this October. The S-400 Triumf is the most advanced Russian
anti-aircraft system available for export, designed to engage
aerodynamic targets at a range of up to 400km and ballistic missiles up
to 60km away. One S-400 division can engage up to 36 targets
simultaneously, while the launcher can use at least four interceptor
missile types, suited to different targets.

India is not the only
country that is being pressured by Washington because of plans to
purchase Russia’s S-400. US lawmakers have been threatening sanctions
against Turkey and are seeking to ban F-35 deliveries if Ankara goes
ahead with the deal.
